During Prince Bismarck's stay at Marien-
bad the Chancellor was in the habit of tax
ing long walks unattended and one day,
finding himself somewhat far from the
town, took the shortest cut back. His way
led him across some fields and the Prince
marched vigorously forward, forgetful of
the fact that he was trespassing. Suddenly
he was hailed i'll loud stentorian tones and
on looking back saw a stout country
woman pursuing him. The indignant
proprietress of the fields accused him to his
face of his offense and declared that she
would follow him and give him in charge
She proved as good as her word and tramped
after the Chancellor until the high road was
reached and police officer came in view.
The worthy woman formally made her COM
plant and the police officer was about to
arrest the offender.
Struck by the resemblance of the tres
pa sser to certain high functionary, the
pol officer cautiously demanded his name
On hearing the name the policeman was
simply paralyzed with fear, and the over
bold country-woman, gathering up her
skirts, fled precipitately. Naturally, the
police officer was reluctant to take the
charge, but Prince Bismarck insisted upon
going to the station. When there he
charged himself with the offense of trespass.
and paid the finecustomary in such matters
In addition to this the Prince sent present
by way of consolation to the woman whose
land he had invaded.

THE Republican majority Of the
State Senate ou Thursday passed final
ly the bill submitting the prohibition
constitutional amendment. The Dem.
ocrats refused to vote after sending in
a written protest against the bill as
class legislation. This is a singular
position for Democrat to occupy. 1t
has been the boast of the Democratic
party that it had faith and trust in
the people, but its representatives in
the Senate protest against measure
which submits to the decision of the
people a question which can be better
and more justly and satisfactorily de-
cided that way than in any other.
Their attitude only gives the redemp'
ton of the Republican pledge more
emphasis. The submission bill now
goes to the House, and its prompt
passage there is undoubted.
